Config menu then Safe Z Setup, see if you have it enabled.

Well it was set to zero in m/c co-ords which should have been ok but i set it to -25 just to be sure.
Makes no difference, it pauses ok but when restarted it just lifts the Z into the upper soft-llimit and sits there, pressing start again simply starts the cut with the Z at top-zero position!
When the pause is pressed, why can't it..
1 - Store the current parameters - X, Y, Z, Torch status etc
2 - Stop at the end of the current line
3 - turn the torch off
4 - Lift the head
5 - wait
When resume is pressed...
1 - Return to the last X, Y position
2 - Lower the torch and detect z position again,
3 - Turn the torch on
4 - Resume cutting at the last coordinates
Obviously there will be a bit of plasma muck where the torch was turned off / on but seems a reasonable tradeoff for stopping mid-cut?
